At the Alfred Education Group, we strive to ensure a comfortable educational experience in Georgia for international students from start to finish. Through the years of our work with students and universities, we have developed 6 steps for a fast and easy admission process. If you have any questions or encounter any issues, feel free to reach out to us via email or phone at any time. 

Step 1. Apply Online

If you have already chosen the University and faculty of your dreams, the information about the tuition fees is clear to you, and you are willing to study in Georgia —  you can easily apply online by filling in the application form on our website. If you have some concerns about Georgia, universities, or educational programs – feel free to contact our managers. Alfred Education Group’s dedicated team will answer all your questions and help you choose the best option for you!

Step 2. Send Documents

To start your admission process, you need to send us the following documents:

• Application Form;
• Passport (valid expiration date);
• School certificate or Bachelor’s degree diploma;
• Apostille (in case your country is a member of Hague convention https://www.hagueapostille.co.uk/hague-members);
• Or legalization of the school diploma and transcript in the consulate of the country they are applying for;
• Full University Transcript (for postgraduate studies);
• Filled-Out Application Form (ensure correct program selection);
• Skype ID for online interview (required by some universities);
• TOEFL or IELTS certificates exempt from examination (non-certificate holders must take an English language exam at the University English Language Center) (for some universities).

Step 3. Pass Interview

Georgian universities require international students to pass interviews as part of the admission process. Depending on the university you choose, you may either participate in a live online interview or submit a pre-recorded interview. The interview process allows the university to assess your qualifications, motivation, and suitability for the program. It is an important step to ensure that you meet the academic and language requirements necessary for successful study in Georgia. Prepare thoroughly to make a strong impression. Additionally, some universities may require you to pass the entrance test. Note that this step may be unnecessary for some universities! 

Step 4. Get an Invitation Letter

To receive an Invitation Letter from the Georgian university, students will first be provided with a Pre-acceptance Letter with instructions for paying the admission fee (required by several universities). The applicant’s documents are submitted to the Ministry of Education of Georgia, enabling the issuance of a letter of information and an invoice for the payment of first-year tuition fees. First-year students must pay the tuition fees in full to obtain the Invitation Letter. Once the tuition fee is fully paid, the invitation letter will be issued. 

There is a list of documents to be sent in order to obtain an Invitation Letter: 

• Copy of the International Passport;
• Filled Application Form;
• Payment Slip Covering Tuition Fee for One Academic Year.

Available payment methods include bank transfer, Western Union, and MoneyGram. Ensure all documents are clearly legible, scanned properly, and double-checked before sending! 

Invitations typically take 3-7 days to be confirmed in Georgia.

Step 5. Obtain a VISA

After getting an Invitation Letter you will have to contact the Georgian Embassy in your country. To get your VISA approved you will have to prepare the following documents: 

• Printed and Signed Visa Application Form. Complete the form online, then print and sign it;
• Passport (must have been issued within the last ten years, contain at least two blank pages, and be valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure date from Georgia);
• Proof of Financial Means;
• Travel Health Insurance;
• Proof of Accommodation;
• Visa Fee Payment Proof;
• Passport-Size Photos;
• Invitation Letter from the Georgian university;
• Additional Proof of Financial Means;
• Proof of Previous Academic Qualifications. Documentation of your prior academic achievements.

Step 6. Arrive in Georgia

Alfred Education Group notifies the government of Georgia about your arrival with an official letter so please be sure to notify us in advance about your arrival in Georgia! At passport control, the Border Service officer will verify if the official representative from Alfred Education Group mentioned in your letter is there to meet you. During border control, you will be asked to provide details about the university you are attending, the faculty you’ve enrolled in, and who is picking you up at the airport. 

Please note! If you fail to inform us of your arrival in Georgia in advance, you will be deported back to your home country.
